[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure about the assumption that all the kids at feeders will move on to Wilson.  At least in my Deal feeder neighborhood, it seems in the past twenty years to be moving from middle/upper middle class to more uniformly affluent.  I wonder if more people will have the means to send their kids to private in the next decade or so, which would mean fewer kids move on to Deal/Hardy and Wilson, at least as a proportion of kids at each feeder.  It may not completely relieve pressure, but perhaps mitigate some pressure.  Just a thought.[/quote]

All of the private schools have zoning caps on enrollment. So while the number of students in the area is steadily and significantly increasing, the number of private school seats is the same.[/quote]

PP here.  I guess you're right; not many new private school seats will be made available.  This will likely drive up the cost of private schools in the area, and perhaps lead to some minor expansion at some of them.

The only new private I can think of is the Whittle School, which will provide 2,500 new seats, but I'm not sure who their target market is..[/quote]
